Since we are a startup in the Cultural Heritage sector, we don't want to spend all our money on office chairs. Believe me, you can spend a lot on that kind of thing very easily (but we would rather save our money for the latest technology toys!). The price is right for these balls, because you can buy them for less than €15 at your local sports shop. They're actually for Pilates exercise.

Focus was on natural language processing tools and geographic information systems.
